I've found it's not a matter of "no one wants it" it is a matter of there are only so many hours in a day and most people are focusing on family, or career, or schooling or something else.
This is a terrible argument because under this argument everyone really is "okay with the massive warrentless government wiretapping going on because they aren't voting against it." People are "okay with the Chinese genocide of the Uighers because they aren't doing anything to stop it."
It's not that they want it that way it's that most people are in the business of living their lives and don't want to constantly have to dedicate their lives to vicious neighborhood politics and so they tolerate it for now because it is a higher barrier to do something about it.

Second, most HOAs are actual democracies, not representative democracies like the country. It's probably a bad idea to become part of an association you don't want to deal with. To continue with the awful government analogies, in an HOA, you're not just a citizen. You're a governor of your state (or part of the senate or whatever you want to use: you are the representative leader of your "state"). So yeah, you're gonna have to be involved. Unless you don't care anyway.
